Simulation Fellowship | UC Davis Health Center for Simulation and Education Enhancement

Advance your expertise in health care education through one of our simulation fellowships. Our comprehensive training program offers immersive, hands-on experience in a state-of-the-art facility accredited as a  Level I Comprehensive Education Institute by the American College of Surgeons.

Leaders in Simulation

Scholars from a variety of clinical backgrounds and institutions around the world spend one to two years with us before returning to their organizations as simulation leaders.

Each fellowship experience is customized to fit the needs and interests of our scholars. We offer fellowship programs for seasoned clinicians within UC Davis Health who may be new to simulation or are thinking of expanding their careers as clinical educators. We can also offer abbreviated programs for visiting scholars.

Becoming a Fellow

Our two primary fellowship offerings include the Simulation and Health Professions Education Fellowship, which is offered in partnership with the UC Davis Health Department of Emergency Medicine, and our Surgical Simulation Fellowship for residents within the UC Davis Health Department of Surgery. 

The Simulation and Health Professions Education Fellowship is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, and the Surgical Simulation Fellowship is accredited by the American College of Surgeons. 

In each fellowship, fellows spend their time creating, performing, evaluating, and supervising medical simulation training. Scholars also learn about simulation technology, simulation research, center operations, and education theory.

Fellows are expected to master the cognitive skills of adult learning theory and understand how to apply this knowledge to simulation education. Scholarship in the form of literature assessment, research project development, and national-level presentations with publication are strongly encouraged and supported by the university's research and biostatistics resource programs. 

Application Process

Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis; however, spots are limited to ensure that fellows receive appropriate mentorship and direction.
